Waterlogging is an increasingly important issue in irrigated agriculture that has a detrimental impact on crop productivity. The above-ground effect of waterlogging on crops is hard to distinguish from water deficit stress with remote sensing, as responses such as stomatal closure and leaf wilting occur in both situations. Currently, waterlogging as a source of crop stress is not considered in remote sensing-based evaporation algorithms and this may therefore lead to erroneous interpretation for irrigation scheduling. Monitoring waterlogging can improve evaporation models to assist irrigation management. In addition, frequent spatial information on waterlogging will provide agriculturalists information on land trafficability, assist drainage design, and crop choice. This article provides a scientific perspective on the topic of waterlogging by consulting literature in the disciplines of agronomy, hydrology, and remote sensing. We find the solution to monitor waterlogging lies in a multi-sensor approach. Future scientific routes should focus on monitoring waterlogging by combining remote sensing and ancillary data. Here, drainage parameters deduced from high spatial resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) can play a crucial role. The proposed approaches may provide a solution to monitor and prevent waterlogging in irrigated agriculture.

“…Satellite remote sensing has the potential to monitor and identify waterlogging in agricultural fields. However, there is limited research available on waterlogging within the remote sensing community [31][32][33]. Literature focussed on waterlogging in irrigated agriculture is even more limited [34,35].…”

Geomorphic processes operate at multiple spatio‐temporal scales and different levels of hierarchy. It is therefore necessary to understand the linkages of landscapes across various scales and levels to gain insights into their interactions and feedbacks. Connectivity is an emergent property of the hydro‐geomorphic systems, and it is gradually evolving into a unifying concept in geomorphology. The connectivity approach has the potential to be applied extensively to diverse hydro‐geomorphic systems of India to understand their complexity as well as for designing effective management practices for river systems and wetlands, optimizing water resources for agriculture, and monitoring and restoration of habitats. Studies on connectivity, particularly in geomorphic context, have been growing steadily in India, albeit at a much slower pace compared to the global trends. This article undertakes a brief overview of the global developments particularly in terms of providing some clarity among the different types of geomorphic connectivity and their inter‐relationships and feedbacks. We then take stock of the connectivity research in India in recent years as applied in different hydrogeomorphic systems across the country. We utilize a number of Indian case studies to illustrate the important developments and applications of connectivity concepts, and also present future perspective of this important field with special relevance to India. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Based on this, the wetland was classified into para and ortho-fluvial wetland by Ward and Stanford (1989). Para-fluvial wetlands are those that are directly linked with the river (Deforet et al, 2009;Mondal and Pal, 2018). Following their thinking, the wetland hydrological security state (WSS) was recognized in this present work.…”

A good number of researchers investigated the impact of flow modification on hydrological, ecological, geomorphological conditions in a river. A few works also focused on hydrological modification on wetland with some parameters but as far the knowledge is concerned, linking river flow modification to wetland hydrological and morphological transformation following an integrated modeling approach is almost absent. The current study aimed to explore the degree of hydrological alteration in the river and its effect on downstream riparian wetlands adopting advanced modeling approaches. After damming maximally 67 to 95% hydrological alteration was recorded in respect to maximum, minimum, and average discharges. Wavelet transformation analysis figured out a strong power spectrum after 2012 (damming year). Due to attenuation of flow, the active inundation area was reduced by 66.29%. After damming, 524.03 km2 (48.97% to total pre-dam wetland) was completely obliterated. Hydrological strength (HS) modeling also reported areas under high HS was declined by 14% after post-dam condition. WSS and HS matrix, a new approach, used to feature wetland coupling inundation connectivity and current hydrological state. HS under critical and stress wetland hydrological security zones deteriorated in the post-dam period. The morphological transformation was also well recognized showing an increase of area under the patch, edge, and decrease of the area under large core area. All these findings established a good linkage between river flow modification and wetland transformation and it provided a good clue for managing wetland.
